about

the holidays are always a weird time. it seems like the last few years i've been working more and feeling less ~holiday cheer~ or whatever. this was originally recorded for a Pacific Nature holiday comp, but i feel it fits with these songs too.

lyrics

tis the season, but i don't feel very jolly.
all this red and green feels grey and it seems
i've lost my spirit.
santa baby, could you bring me a good night's sleep,
a sense of comfort, a sense of purpose
even though i fear it,
a sense of knowing that i'm where i need to be?

tis the season, drown in pleasantries.
a shake of hands, exchange a glance,
and wish a happy holiday.
but i'm working hard, i've got an empty belly
and christmas is just one more bill i'm gonna have to pay.
if i make it home, i hope you'll understand
why there's less shimmer, there's less passion
and more cuts upon my hands.
still just a little drummer boy who can't buy fancy gifts,
but i swear i'll try my best to cross the items off your list.
all i want for christmas is just a little bliss.
all i want for christmas is to not feel this.
